About

Martin Godek, LMHC, brings two decades of practice to people seeking help with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions, family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting questions, self esteem, career matters, bipolar disorder, coaching, and ADHD. Licensed in New York, he draws from a combination of client-centered work and evidence-informed methods to support exploration of emotions, behavior patterns, and life goals. His approach emphasizes listening and structured skill-building tailored to each person’s priorities.

In sessions he integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-focused techniques when these approaches align with a person’s needs. That blend is intended to help identify unhelpful thinking, develop coping strategies for intense emotions, and address memories or reactions tied to past events. He also attends to related patterns such as attachment difficulties, abandonment concerns, communication and control issues, and challenges with intimacy or fatherhood.

Martin works collaboratively to set goals and track progress. He frames therapy as a process of practical skill development alongside reflective exploration, aiming to support clearer decision making and greater day-to-day coping for those who choose to work with him.

Remote therapeutic options and methods



Martin integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into online work to combine practical skills with emotion regulation strategies. CBT is described in accessible terms as a way to identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, while DBT offers structured skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. He also uses trauma-focused techniques and mindfulness practices as complementary tools when addressing traumatic memories or chronic stress.

Sessions are collaborative: goals are set together and methods are adjusted to fit a person’s situation and preferences. The use of client-centered principles means attention is given to the person’s experience and to pacing interventions in a way that feels manageable.

Remote sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow flexibility in how people engage with CBT, DBT, mindfulness exercises, and trauma-focused interventions while working toward agreed-upon goals.
